Very satisfying

Clean and tidy, very comfortable beds, great location

George · AU · 2026-07-25

Stayed here some years ago and its a vast improvement in many ways since then so returning in 2027.

9.0

We paid a little extra for a room at the rear wing on the 3rd (5th) floor and it was worth it being very quiet and lift up from the basement car park. A very good size room with comfortable bed , own balcony all very modern and clean and a handy mini bar, An easy 5 minute walk to numerous eateries right in the middle of town and almost on the riverfront.

− Better lighting in the basement car park at night so you dont trip ( I did) on the not lit up first speed hump when walking back from dinner to get the lift back up to your room.
